How to Prevent Your Corso from Acting Rudely?

A Cane Corso that has been raised by its owners since puppyhood in a loving environment that gently but firmly discourages dominance shouldn’t act aggressively toward them. The Corso breed is well-known and adored for its owners’ protection and adoring affection.

Adult Corso who has experienced abuse may become aggressive toward their owners, but this behavior is common among all dogs.

Although fatal attacks on their human owners have been documented, these incidents are the exception rather than the rule. The significance of appropriate training and environment for these potentially dangerous large breed dogs is only highlighted by incidents like these.

You must responsibly train your Cane Corso because of its 700 pounds per square inch (PSI) bite force and weight of up to 110 pounds (50 kg).

A Michigan couple was sentenced to prison in 2014 after their two Corso fatally mauled a jogger who was walking by. Corso fatalities are far less frequent than Pitbull fatalities, but their bite force is three times greater than the 230 PSI of Pitbulls.

Owners have a duty to the public to make sure that these devoted pets don’t cause harm to anyone nearby. Here are some strategies to keep your cane corso puppy from becoming aggressive:

Socialization early on

In this intelligent breed, socialization with other people and dogs is crucial because behaviors are learned early on.

Begin being obedient

As your Corso grows larger, faster, and harder to handle in adolescence, begin obedience training as soon as you can.

Instill bite restraint

Remove all contact when your puppy bites during play to teach bite inhibition from an early age. Although some advocate for more drastic measures, refraining from contact and engaging in play for a while after your dog bites will gently teach him not to do that.

Powerful leadership

Early on, exercise strong leadership by having your pup sit down for meals and wait before you let them outside. Until your dog is old enough for puppy obedience, it is never too early to begin teaching gentle obedience.

Socialize

Your Corso needs to be socialized throughout their entire lives, not just as a puppy. Older Corso’s should be rewarded for being social and should be encouraged to interact with other people and dogs.

Immediately reduce dominance

Use the sit or lie down command to quickly stop dominating behavior toward people and other dogs.

Aggressive attitude

Never reward your dog for being protective or aggressive as this will only encourage them to become more aggressive.
